First of all, where in the project instructions does it tell you the POST route should be /api/shorturl/new?

The answer is nowhere. The POST route should be /api/shorturl

You have several other problems with your code once you resolve this first issue. You should be able to look at the error messages generated in the Node console for further instruction.
